Giving the signal in dB isn't much more useful to userspace

some radiotap information for zd1211 (the only driver using
this flag), but it helps a lot for getting cfg80211-based
scanning which won't support dB, and zd1211 being dB is a
little fishy anyway.

We should be able to convert zd1211rw to use dBm anyway, we shall
release a new "vendor driver" for it which I think has some bits for this.
Just need to get around to it.
